University graduates have an advantage in economic practice if they possess the ability to independently model and correctly solve problems of interdisciplinary nature, which is not possible without the usage of an appropriate computer system and other ICT tools.
Maple system provides a complex, dynamic, open and comfortable environment and a range of further attractive subsystems for its users.
These facts play a very important role in the overall structure of gaining habits not only at education in economic study programmes, but also in applications and in future economic practice.

Knowledge of the basic course in Mathematics; familiarity with selected topics in the courses of Statistics and selected topics in the courses of Economics, especially Micro- and Macroeconomics.
Basic computer skills are expected.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having participated in all seminars actively and worked out the assigned tasks and elaborated final project (evaluation considers factual accuracy, formal layout and presentation).

Course description:
1st week: Information about the course and terms. Methods of the economic modeling, economic analysis and its applications. Mathematical software Maple, interactive tools, information about how to use the system.
2nd to 4th week: Revision of the basic mathematic methods used in economic analysis. Information about the most important tools of Maple (work, communication and presentation environments). Information about the final assignment required for the exam.
5th to 12th week: Economic models and their analysis. Analysis of selected economic variables.

Thematic description:
5th week: Supply and demand model, market and equilibrium.
6th to 7th week: Flexibility models of supply and demand. Models of total incomes and total costs, profit and externalities.
8th week: Models of utility and consumer preference. Relation of consumer behavior and demand.
9th week: Production model.
10th and 11th week: Selected macroeconomic models, consumption, production, rent and macroeconomic equilibrium.
13th week: Review of previous classes. Additional information.

Not applicable.

The general aim of this course is to acquire knowledge in the area of creating economic models and methods of their processing with the support of mathematical methods, but also the implementation of contemporary innovative trends in education, such as:
- economic theory in correspondence with empirical contents of real life economic environment
- support of interdisciplinary training
- complex approach to solving economic problems by using the Maple system.

Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is controlled. The way of substituting of missed lectures and seminars is fully in the teachers’ competence.
